    Upgrade 7S to NEU power?

    Hi all im running a Feigo 7s in my 23'' mono on 2s lipo's mono runs a constant 40 mph with stable flat ride and awsome turning capabilities while running yesterday the 7s turned only about 1/2 the usual rpm . I think its time to upgrade to a NEU B/L motor. Which NEU motor would be a good replacement for the 7s ? I would'nt mind a extra 5 or 10 mph. What would cause the 7s to lose 1/2 its rpm the motor has never been overheated . Regards Andris Golts,

        Even a 1509 1.5D would be a major step up in HP from the 7S. Like the other guys have said, you need to check you batts and esc settings.

        Sorry I missed the last meeting, I have a vehicle now.

        On a side note... If that TP Power motor I sold you has too much RPM for your bigger Wild thing mono maybe I'll trade you for a NEU 1521 1.5D?? It has approx. 1900kv as compared to 2200kv. I wish I had not sold it as I'm building a P-Sport Hydro it would shoe into very well... oh well....

              Hi Alexgar to date i have found the x432 is the most efficient prop. I may also experiment with a x632 and x435. Regards Andris Golts.

                  Hi Alex looking at the Feigo chart the 6s draws 108 amps i would try a x427 and x430 prop first to see if you can unload the smaller props first and work your way up in prop size checking all temps and current draw let me know how you make out. Regards Andris Golts.
